DS Update: Disney Announces Many New Tenants

The new Disney Springs water tower went up last week, just in time for yesterday's official announcement of new tenants coming to the shopping center. Some were complete surprises while many were known, if not officially announced, from their "Help Wanted" ads.

They join previously announced Zara and Uniqlo. When it comes to retail in Orlando, very few are unique but I am excited about Uniqlo and Shore! Also, NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan's son will be opening the very first Trophy Room.

On the food front, previously-labeled Disney Burger is revealed to be D-Luxe Burger, a gourmet burger-joined owned and operated by the Mouse.

Previously-labeled Patisserie is revealed to be Amorette's Patisserie.If it's anything like the patisserie in EPCOT: France, it's sure to be popular!

Anon, the more it duplicates Florida Mall, the less need for Disney guests to go to Florida Mall. That's the idea. Of course Florida Mall contains many stores that Disney Springs won't have. Likewise, Disney Springs has announced some stores that are nowhere else in Orlando!
